Lately I've been trying to keep myself focused on more positive and productive things. I made it through both Friday and Saturday night without drinking, which is a big feat for me. Especially because Saturday was my brother's birthday. 22 years old... man we're all getting old. The fellows over at the Warhol threw him a birthday party and five bands played, including the Dreamland Project and Slain Monarch. Both did a fantastic job. The boys are playing a show in Austin tonight at Red Eyed Fly so we're all going down for it. I'm pretty excited, it should be a good performance.
My grandma started hallucinating this morning. She claimed there was a mouse in the couch so we tore the cushions off and there was no mouse to be found. We were all a little weirded out... wondering if she was losing her mind or something. Then my mom read the information pamphlet for the antibiotics that my grandma is on and it turns out hallucinations can be caused by an allergic reaction to the medicine. Mystery solved and the case of the phantom mouse is officially closed.
Brady gave me a book entitled "The Path to Tranquility". It's a book full of positive quotations by the Dalai Lama, one for every day of the year. It's been good for me to just flip to a random page and read something that will make me think. I've been trying to take each quote and put it into play in my life, at least for that day. It's a start. And now, I'll leave you with a quote from the book that I appreciate:

"Time never waits but keeps flowing. Not only does time flow unhindered, but correspondingly our lives too keep moving onward all the time. If something goes wrong, we cannot turn back time and try again. In that sense, there is no genuine second chance."
